Mitro – Bulgaria [Jaap Leegwater/Tanja Djankova*]
This is a new old dance that Sallie picked up on the web. However, the recording we use comes from a 2010 Boulder workshop with Jaap, so someone may have know and forgotten it before.
Mitro Mitro kadon Mitro tornala e kadon mitra ot saraen do bunaren studna voda na notoči De ja sreošna ludo mlado too na Mitra progovarja "Mitro Mitro kadon Mitro Kade ti e kolančeno? Kolančeno ot korčeno Gerdančeno ot Šijikana" Mitro Mitro dear Mitro She came from the harem to the well to pour could water There she met a young lad who spoke to her "Mitro Mitro dear Mitro Where is your belt? Your belt of leather Your vest of silk"Folk Dance Musings/Jaap’s notes
